Many trucks have been deemed as lethal giants.  There are many tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, tanker trucks, and many other trucks that are taking over our roads.  The accidents caused from these trucks are continuously increasing. Many of these can be prevented.  Driver fatigue and not following driving laws are the main reasons for accidents.

Legislators and trucking companies have tried to address roadway safety.  These oversized trucks have caused many accidents.  The horrible problem just repeats itself time and time again.  People are lucky to come out of a trucking accident alive let alone with injuries that have been sustained.  The consequences to the victim are very substantial.  Many people never fully recover from their injuries if they do make it out alive.

Many accidents occurred during times of intoxication, error, fatigue, loads that are too large, equipment failure, fatigue, not following standards, traffic violations, dangerous cargo, and delivery times that are unreasonable.  There are more people at fault than just the drivers.  Some people load trucks too full, delivery times should not be so unreasonable, along with many other factors.  The roads need to be safer for everyday commuters.
